WALL-PAPER AND OTHER FABRIC.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 346,257, dated July 27,1286.

Application filed June 10,1886. Serial No. 204,691.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, LUCIEN BAER and DAVID KRAEMER, citizens oftheUnited States, and residents of New York, in the county of New Yorkand State-of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin \Vall Papers or other Fabrics, of which the following is aspecification.

The object of our invention is to produce a new fabricsuch as wall-paperor paper-hang ings-in imitation ofvelvet or flock, in a cheap andeffective manner; and it consists, essentially, in the employment ofdried wood pulp to form ornamental design or designs on the Web ofpaper, as hereinafter more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a cross-section of apiece of paper ornamented according to ourinvention. Fig. 2 represents aface view thereof.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The letter a designates the web, I) the groundcolor thereof, cthe sizeupon the said ground color, and cl the design, which is composed of dyedwood pulp.

In carrying out our invention we take a W( b of papersuch as isordinarily used for wallpaperor paper-hangings-androlororstainthe racethereof in any usual or suitable manner. We then coat this web upon thecolored surface, after the color has dried, with size, varnish, or anyother suitable adhesive substance, and while the adhesive substance isin a moist state we ornament the web, in whole or in part, by hand ormachine, with suitable design or designs composed of dried wood pulpcolored in any suitable way by means of aniline dyes,

(Specimens) so that the wood pulp is firmly cemented to the paper bymeans of the adhesive substance by drumming or otherwise, or in any ofthe Well-known methods employed in the mannfacture of wall-paper, as maybe found most convenient.

A suitable machine may be used to apply the wood pulp to the paper, orit may be applied by hand by means of a brush or otherwise.

NVe are aware that wall-paper, as well as oilcloth, have heretofore beenornamented with designs composed of sawdust and other substancessuch asground glass and sandand we do not claim such as our invention, theessential feature of which is the employment of dried wood pulp as asubstitute for flock, thereby producing a perfect imitation of flock,both in touch and appearance, at a comparatively low cost, and, indistinction from sawdust, producing a smooth surface, and one which isadapted to adhere to the paper in a superior manner.

\iVhat we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

As a new article of manufacture, a fabricsuch as wallpaper orpaper-hangingshaving ornamental design or designs formed thereon, inimitation of velvet or flock,by means of wood pulp in a dried state,substantially as herein described.

Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York.
